CONGRATS!!!! ME TOO!!! ISN"T IT COOL!!! QUANTUM LEAP RULES! Blues jjf the trick to flying is to throw yourself at the ground, and miss. It's a gas, gas, gas...

Life is what you make of it. As much as mine may suck at times, I wouldn't change a thing. Life is awesome! I'm with you Rev.... It can be incredible, even when it sucks. Peace It's a gas, gas, gas...

THANKS WENDY!!! Nope!!! No Beer Today. Hadn't planned on soloing till next weekend, but did anyway. Wow. Had to get home to the kids, birthday parties, stuff to do, etc... Beer going to the DZ with me next saturday!!! A case of course! Blue Skies Wendy, have a good one! Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

So COOL. Don't change it. Doesn't matter anyway, you know how us guys are. If were horny we can make the most calm thing sound nasty!!! :-) BTW: I"M FREAKING GRADUATED!!! SOLO TODAY TOO!!! I AM COMPLETELY TOTALLY JAZZED!!! :-) Fluffy Whites Wendy Jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

agreed with all Lisa... everybit... no arguments... As far as "harsh", hell, life is harsh. In my honest opinion, I believe we get out, what were willing to put in. in short, cute little buzz phrases are irritating, however, more than anything, usually cuz they are true, and some sick fuck advertising exec tends to reuse some great zen statement to sell shit.... with that in mind :-) if your gonna go, go big... live/die, either way, nothing will change the fact that since I started this, it's what I've done every weekend, and intend to do every weekend here out, unless something like a wedding, funeral, or some other type of thing gets in the way. which, in review, that can't happen, cuz I can jump before, or after any of those events. the only thing I've found to screw a good skydiving weekend is frickin clouds, storm clouds and lightning, which really piss me off, since up till recently, I've always dug a flat out freaky deaky storm... by the way, i've spent the last decade working 60+ hours a week, usually 40 at work and an additional 20 + developing skill sets after work. IT IS SO NICE TO DO SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T HAVE SHIT TO DO WITH WORK, FAMILY, OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN ME!!! IF I KEEP THIS UP A WHILE LONGER I MAY BE NICE AGAIN. HELL, I ALMOST LIKE LIFE AGAIN!!! Very big grins on this! cool, so totally cool, Nite, jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

Don't kid yourself. Skydiving is not safer than driving. You can do everything right skydiving and still die. If you can't accept that as a fact, I recommend bowling. OOH Shit, good point, good point. Didn't mean I wasn't ready to accept it. You are correct. I also didn't mean it was "safer" than driving. In all actuality, I suppose, after review, I was just BITCHING ABOUT ALL THE ASSHOLES THAT CAN"T DRIVE AND GET IN MY WAY ON THE INTERSTATE!!! there, that was cathartic. really though, accepting the danger is a big part of it, however, I do believe that as we improve our skills, we can increase our likeliehood of survival. you kind of got me on this one. i guess, afterall, i have to admit. "I could die doing this tomorrow morning at 8 am" (i've admitted this all the way, just feels weird to think about it in those terms) now, my thought today as I tracked for the very first time. "If I don't live to see tomorrow, I'm good. This is incredible." so there you have it. jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

LOL Ok, I'll ease up over it, gotta tell you though, tends to make a guy feel like Beavis (or Butthead, pick one) when speaking it out loud... HeHeHe - You said "Bendy" lol Ok, so how the hell did ya get it? You willing to talk? :-) Blues, jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

ME TOO!!!! It's like discoverin "IT", WOW!!! However, not to take the wind outta your sails, but I'm always like this :-) Jumpin probably more than others, but, I LOVE TO COOK, LOVE TO EAT, LOVE INCREDIBLE MUSIC (Jazz, Blues, Rock, Classical), LOVE TO TRAVEL, and now LOVE TO FREAKIN SKYDIVE!!! Oh, one more thing :-) I SERIOUSLY LOVE REALLY CUTE SKYCHICKS WITH INCREDIBLY CUTE NAMES LIKE "BENDYWENDY"!!! ESPECIALLY WITH TONS OF JUMPS!!! ok girls, I know, little adrenaline really brings out the ass in guys! sorry, it's true..... Seriously though, thanks Wendy, it's all good, and I"M SO FUCKING STOKED I COULD JUST POP!!!!!! :-) Peace, Luv, and REALLY PUFFY WHITE CLOUDS FLOATIN ACROSS BIG BLUE FREAKING SKIES!!! damn, life is good sometimes. jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

Nightingale, makes sense, just shows you are a rational human being. The experience is phenomenally cool, however, there is the danger that we might die... Then again, were more likely to die on the way to the dropzone (fucking traffic to mine on highway 44 is insane, totally) Anyway, to make a long story short. I've had the same feeling since day one. It's fear and I've fought to overcome it. Did Level 6 today, was as usual, a bit freaked on exit. However, after seeing the engines upon exit, and perching myself on "the hill".... Damn, was the best jump yet. Fear just literally melted away. Did a backloop, tracked off into the distance, checked altimeter, pulled. If you love it enough, if it makes your rocks float, if it trips your trigger, then don't stop, keep working through it. It is a very very very personal thing though, and a decision that you have to make on your own. You gotta admit though, Damn, it's good, sooo good. :-) Blue Skies, May Sam be with you... jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

BACKLOOPS ARE COOL! BUT TRACKING IS JUST THE COOLEST SHIT EVER!!! Ok, that's my two cents. Final AFF dive, first load in the morning (tomorrow). Nite All jjf the trick to flying is throwing yourself at the ground and missing. It's a gas, gas, gas...

Level 6 AFF today... And It wasn't simply "good". It was climb the walls, jungle sex good! Backloops are cool, but tracking off across the sky, now, that's even cooler. Making AFF level 7 in 8 hours.... Bedtime! Peace, jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

This is actually a very good point. It's also why I left my wife. I wanted to cheat. Bad. I wouldn't be able to live with it, so, I left before I did. By the way. I still haven't been with anyone (coming up 60 days later), but at this point, if/when it does happen, I can say I didn't cheat. There aren't any canidates either, I didn't have someone "lined up" and waiting. Not much of a prize their, however, I knew it was over, simply because my "desire" for something else had increased to a significant level. With this in mind, I knew it was time to go. I was not being fulfilled. If I would've stuck around, it would happen sooner or later. jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

Thanks KatieBear, Fabulous idea, I'll do that tomorrow since the damn rain screwed me outta my level 6/7 jumps today.... your a sweetie, I'll let you know if i was able to pull the demo off! Blues jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

Pairing it with other cool stuff is fabulous... How could your man not be incredibly jazzed. Red ribbon is just a tease, but we like that too. MP3 player cool as well. After everything though, you definitly still want to get to the ribbon. :-) Good Luck! It's a gas, gas, gas...

EXACTLY!!! Not only skychicks, but gutsy ones! :-) Makes my heart warm! Where are you jumping at Wendy? It's a gas, gas, gas...

very good point(s), well taken It's a gas, gas, gas...

JEEZ OH PEEZ? ASSHOLES? WTF? I did drugs for years, through teenage and early twenties. HAD A DAMN GOOD TIME NEVER EVER SLIPPED ANYONE ANYTHING!!! SHIT DAMN ASSHOLES? HOW ABOUT COMPLETE FREAKS! WOW Glad your ok, I'd kick someones ass clear around the world for dropping a surprise in on me. Damn. jack He wasn't an asshole because he did drugs. I have some good friends who use, but they're responsible about it. I don't have a problem with that... but if they offer it to me, they respect me when I say no, and don't ask again. My choices are different than theirs, and we're both okay with that. With the ex-bf, what we'd fought about wasn't so much the drugs themselves, but him putting pressure on me to use them also, and him standing me up because he was too wasted to remember to call and cancel plans, or DRIVING under the influence of LSD, or smoking pot around my eight year old cousin. Exactly Nightingale, exactly. That's what I was saying. His choice to use, is his. Impacting others with that choice, pressuring people, behaving like an idiot... well that's another thing. That's why I was saying he is a freak. What he did to you is just as bad as rape. In fact, it is rape, mental rape. peace, plenty guys would never ever compromise you in that manner. many of us believe in protecting our women (wives, girlfriends, daughters, neighbors) and treating them with love. blues, jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

I'm not gonna hug ya man (like you wanted one from me anyhow :-) I will say though, coming out of a second marriage recently, we tend to pick the same people every time... Even when we don't want to. Girls who get the crap beat out of them, often choose another wife beater the second time around, and don't even know they did until it's too late. Same thing for cheaters, etc....etc...etc... We are attracted to certain personality traits, and with those profiles, usually come the things that we don't like. Cheating, Abuse, etc...etc... Really Really Sucks. Why have exclusivity, if your not going to be exclusive? Beats me, unbelievable but it occurs all the time. Peace, Keep trying, jack It's a gas, gas, gas...

HA COOL! I took that class as well! Good Work! It's a gas, gas, gas...

Ok, alright, I remember this one, barely. It's been years, but it happened to me as well. Couldn't leave the apartment, didn't do anything every day but "it"... All I have to say is "Live with it". Enjoy it... Isn't it amazing we always want what we don't have? I could use a month in bed with someon fun. Been over 6 months. Dying here. Maybe then I wouldn't be so damn irritable and just generally mean. :-) Were not going to feel sorry man, get over it, do whatcha gotta do!!! jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

Now that's an fabulous idea.... Thanks, will have to try the surgical gloves. So cool. Also, I'm sure that a full face mask helmet helps as well. I have one on my wish list, just have to pony up my jump money for it. ICK! Translated, it doesn't really get to cold to jump. jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

Sangiro, man, incredible. The site is really a great place... Great people, great place. Thanks for everything. jjf It's a gas, gas, gas...

We've been telling them this for years. Some get it, some don't.... THIS IS ALL ANY MAN WANTS FROM CHILDHOOD FORWARD!!! YOU CAN ACCESSORIZE WITH FOOD, BEER, WHATEVER. Red Ribbon, here, have a beer honey. Nirvana It's a gas, gas, gas...
